The Nexus One is the first phone using Android 2.1, making the Google Nexus One phone a strong competitor against Apple iPhone 4  and the HTC Droid Incredible. The screen is an outpour of 16.7 million colors  and the display is 800 x 480-pixel, good enough for you to browse photos and  watch videos. A good news for movie lovers   is that the Google Nexus One supports  video playback duration of up to 7 hours, and music up to 20 hours. Well, I know that’s not our topic   but… it is somewhat related to our concern: transferring  video and   music to Nexus One phone.

In order to transfer videos and music to Google Nexus One for  playback, you need to make sure that the video (or audio) format is supported  by the   Nexus One. Let’s take a look at acceptable code by Nexus One:
Video codec: H.263, MPEG-4 SP, H.264 AVC
Audio codec: AAC LC/LTP, HE-AACv1 (AAC+), HE-AACv2 (enhanced  AAC+), AMR-NB, AMR-WB 9, MP3, MIDI SMF, Ogg  Vorbis, WAV
If your source video or audio file is encoded by above  mentioned  codec, please move on to the next step. Otherwise you need to convert the video or audio to supported format for Nexus One before transferring video  to Nexus One.

Detailed  guide of transferring videos and music from PC to Nexus One:

1. Use the USB cable that came with your Nexus One to connect the phone to your PC, and you’ll receive a notification that the USB is connected.

2. Open the Notifications panel and touch USB connected.Then touch Turn on USB storage in the screen that opens to confirm that you want to transfer files. The Nexus One  phone is connected as USB storage, and the screen will indicate that USB storage is in use and   you receive a notification.

3. The SD card of Nexus One is mounted as a drive on your computer.You can now copy videos from PC to the SD card. During this   time, you can’t  access the SD card from your Nexus One or share your  phone’s data connection with your computer via USB.

4. When the videos are copied to the SD card of Nexus One, you can disconnect your phone from PC. First unmount the SD card on your PC, then open the Notifications panel and touch Turn  off USB storage.

Extract music from video for playback with Nexus One?Convert video to Nexus One audio?

It is very simple to extract sound track from videos. You  can convert every video that loaded to the converter to Nexus One music.Simply  select desired audio format in Step 2 (see the above guide). For example, you may follow “Common Video”-> “MP3 – MPEG Layer 3 Audio (*.mp3) or “AAC- Advanced Audio Coding (*.aac).

What if I just need partial of the track, not a full length? Well, here you are advised to use the Trim function in the Editor of   Video to  Nexus One Converter. Select the item you want to trim, click “Edit” button, then switch to “Trim” tab to set start and end time. Always trim the video  before setting output format.

The picture above reveals that I cut the video length from 55 secs down to 30 secs. I then back to the main interface of Video to Nexus One Converter, set output format as MP3, and click “Convert”. Few seconds later, I get an MP3 file of 30 secs.
